RENAISSANCE HUNTING TAPESTRY 

FLEMISH, 16TH CENTURY 
An important tapestry, occupied with most imaginatively drawn 
hunting scene with delightful incidents through the picture, be- 
tween densely foliated trees and with a background of a medieval 
castle and a hunting lodge. In the foreground birds and animals 
of the chase. Size, 9 feet 7 mches x 7 feet 4 inches 
The hunting tapestry was one of the most favored of all hangings 
during the Renaissance. In the inventory of Henry VIII we find 
in each castle or lodge an unusual number of tapestries of 
hawking and hunting. At Hampton Court twenty-seven 
“pieces” ; at Windsor five ‘“‘pieces’; at Woodstock one “piece” ; 
at the More one “piece”; at Richmond thirty-one “‘pieces’’, with 
fourteen borders of a similar character. A great many hunting 
tapestries bear the Brussels mark, but the demand for these 
romantic weaves was apparently so great that Oudenarde, Ant- 
werp, Bruges and Arras vied in the production of “hunts’’.
